The National Wildlife Research Center (NWRC) is the research unit of the USDAAPHIS Wildlife Services program. Our scientists and support staff are dedicated to

finding solutions to challenging wildlife damage management problems related to

agriculture, natural resources, property, and human health and safety.

Human-wildlife conflicts, wildlife damage, nuisance and pest animals, wildlife

disease, invasive species, overabundant wildlife, and overall ecosystem health are

just some of the topics studied by researchers at the National Wildlife Research

Center.

Product Registration 

The Registration Unit provides data and information to support regulatory approval

of new or existing products needed by Wildlife Services (WS) Operations. These

products allow the WS Program to more efficiently address wildlife damage issues

and protect agriculture, human health, and endangered species or critical habitats. 

Digital Collections 

The digital collections include images, publications, artifacts, archives findings aids,

and other digital resources.

Technology Transfer Program 
APHIS' WS program often partners with private-sector industries to develop new

tools and techniques for resolving human-wildlife conflicts related to agriculture,

human health and safety, property, invasive species, and threatened and

endangered species.

Research Spotlight

Capturing Valuable Snake Data Using Cameras 

Wildlife Services and its partners have made great strides in reducing damage and

suppressing invasive brown treesnake populations on Guam. This work is opening

the possibility of re-introducing native birds and lizards to some parts of the island.

But before that can happen, more information is needed on potential predation risks

at reintroduction sites. Recent work with wildlife cameras has led to a new method

for estimating potential predation risks to native birds by brown treesnakes.
